4. What might be the
consequence for Yee? Jail? Jail or not, Yee's campaign for CA's Secretary of State will 100% certain
collapse. CA's Senate leader has already publicly
asked Yee to resign.

5.
What kind of a person is Yee?

(1) Yee is an anti-gun advocate, but he traffics firearms.

(2) Yee's secretary of state campaign advocates for
government transparency and stopping corruption, but
his dirty deeds are hidden from the sun and he took bribes. (3) Yee swears that he'd always defend Chines Am. interest, but he voted for SCA 5. Yee said that "I asked Sen. Hermandez 'if SCA 5 will negatively impact the
Chinese'. Hermandez said 'no.' I believe him then and I believe him now." Listen to Yee's
own words, by clicking
here.

I had presided over the DE Senate for 4 years, I have never met a
senator who would take the words of another senator regarding a
bill sponsored by that senator. Every senator would always go back to his/her office
and get the staff to begin doing independent assessment. Leland Yee's explanation was
nothing but a lie to deceive his Chinese Am supporters. He consistently
says one thing, but does just the opposite. Yee is a despicable person.

6. What does it mean for 80-20?

80-20's effort to empower you continues. A
few days ago, 80-20 publicly stated that we need to defeat Leland Yee and Paul Fong
for not defending our rightful interests. It must be done to induce the rest of
the AsAm elected officials to be accountable to us in the future. Now, Yee is
gone. Fong is yet to go.

If you live in Paul Fong's election district. Make sure that you tell voters in City District 1 of San Jose, where Fong is running, not to
vote for Fong.

ALL OF US WILL BE EMPOWERED, if we reward and punish the elected officials according to their performance as a public SERVANT.

7. Anything else?

Get every AsAm to register and vote! That is
the only lasting SELF EMPOWERMENT!

To
the brave AsAm, particularly Ch-Am, fighters,80-20 salutes
you! Against impossible odds, YOU responded to 80-20's clarion call
to "rise and act." YOU provided great local leadership. 80-20
assisted
with its political know-how. TOGETHER, we won.

Thanks to you, there are much superlative press attention & praise
for you & 80-20 Initiative in the last few days. Against impossible odds,
in
a legislative battle where the Dem Party has a 2/3 majority in both the
Senate and the Assembly, we induced the Speaker of the Assembly to kill
the Senate California Constitutional Amendment 5 (SCA 5). SCA 5 aimed
to re-introduce "race conscious" college admissions to CA which
severely
hurts AsAm students.

Seasoned political reporters in prestigious major
media said the
following about 80-20.

1) Economist:Not
black and white. By Tom Nuttall.
[Note: Economist is an prestigious international weekly, published in
London, England. The author is Tom Nuttall, Economist's west coast
correspondent. He was an editor at the European Council on Foreign
Relations. So he certainly knows politics, and knows how to judge
the effectiveness of political organizations.]

"THE
80-20 Initiative, an Asian-American lobby group, scored its first big
success last October when it forced Jimmy Kimmel, a television host, to
apologize for allowing a five-year-old boy to suggest on air that America
should kill everyone in China in order to avoid its debt obligations. This
week the group pulled off a more edifying win, defeating an attempt to
allow Californian universities to take account of race when deciding whom
to admit.

"California's
Democrats have long chafed against Proposition 209, . . . .
whizzed through the state Senate. It seemed likely to pass in the lower
house, too. California's voters, a more mixed bunch these days, may well
have supported it.

"And
so after the Senate vote the 80-20 Initiative urged its 350,000
e-mail subscribers to press Asian-American legislators to scrap SCA 5.
Energetic and bottom-up, the ensuing campaign had a Tea-Party whiff to
it. And it worked: their phones ringing off the hook, several Asian-
American Democrats decided that ethnic allegiances trumped partisan
ones and withheld support for the bill. On March 17th John Perez, the
Assembly Speaker, withdrew it from consideration. . . .

Asian-Americans
have low voting rates and are not noted for political
activism. Could this debate change that? S.B. Woo, 80-20's co-founder,
likes to think so. It is time for Asians to acquire the political
sophistication
of whites, he argues; they should harass Asian politicians who fail their
constituents, and should be willing to play the parties off against each 604b
other."

"Economist" is NOT the only media that is reporting our impact
on this legislative reversal. See below. Many more are NOT listed.

Frankly & honestly, 80-20 got too much credit, because the real credit
should go to YOU!!!

On the other hand, was 80-20's clarion call needed? Did its political courage
and know-how provide the hope & direction? If so, then donate to SELF by clicking here.

A community, as financially well-to-do and politically immature as ours,
should at lest support one political organization that has a splendid record.
If 80-20's SELF project fail to reach $1 million/yr for 5 years in another
15 months, every penny you've donated will be refunded in full. Subsequently,
80-20 will likely demise at the end of 2016.

Is self-empowerment permanently much much more
important than a
victory in SCA 5? The CHOICE IS YOURS.

Friday, March 21, 2014

The pro-Democratic newspapers would have you believe that SCA 5
was killed by the 3 ChAm senators, who have repented, or the Democratic
leadership. The die-hard Republicans will have you believe that the
Republican leadership helped killed SCA 5. The truth is that YOU Killed
SCA 5, because both parties were forced by the reality of the upcoming
elections to help the AsAm community kill SCA 5 - Ds
want to avoid a
disaster during the next elections & Rs want to defeat a few incumbent Ds.

2. Q:
What can we conclude? A: We have
the POWER to defend ourselves, when we work together & follow
good political advice. The politicians
are weak before a united and
well-led AsAm community.

3. Q:
How do we consolidate our SELF empowerment? A: 4 easy
key steps:
(1) We must REGISTER to vote and actually
vote. See a list of orgs.*which
have joined 80-20 for a great campaign to register
more voters.
(2) We need to pass a strong message to all AsAm
politicians who have
been negligent in defending our rightful interests. So
80-20
recommends UN-electing
(a) Paul Fong
who'll be term limited out as an Assemblyman and
will be running for City Council 1 in San Jose, and
(b) Leland Yee who
is also term limited out as a Senator and will be
running for Secretary of State of CA.

Ted Lieu has helped 80-20 stop SCA 5 in many ways. He also
stated publicly: "I will vote against SCA 5 if
and when it comes
back to the Senate and any amendment in any form that
continues to
seek race conscious admissions." We recommend
that you give him
due consideration in his Congressional campaign. Carol Liu's attitude
in SCA 5 is very questionable, but she is NOT running
this year.
(3) Respect all communities of all races.
(4) Don't blame Sen. Hermandez for proposing
SCA 5. He is working for
the interests of his constituents as an elected
official should. If all AsAm
elected officials will be as dutiful to AsAm interest
as Sen. Hermandez is
to Hispanics' interests, AsAms will be doing great.

4. Q:
Does defeating SCA 5 benefit AsAms nationally? A: Yes! See
how the international & national media now show respect
to
AsAms, and to 80-20 Initiatives. In the last 3
days, Woo, Pres. of
80-20 Initiative has 8 interview requests. Click on

"SCA 5 IS DEAD" - a quote from 80-20's e-mail to you 4 days
ago. Yesterday,
its death was formalized by Assembly Speaker Perez. He referred SCA 5 back
to the CA Senate. Could it come back 2 years from now? Quite likely!

EMPOWER YOURSELF so that it'll never
comeback!

Register to vote! Here is the EASIEST way.

If you reside in CA, having registered will enable you to vote against
SCA 5 if necessary. See how the CA Democratic politicians responded to your
protests? If many of us register as Republican voters today, they'll really
get your message. They'll never touch SCA 5 again!

Nationally, in 2008, only 2.5 of the 6 million eligible AsAms voted.
Imagine if all 6 million had voted and that they are known to ALWAYS
vote in presidential PRIMARIES, like the Jewish. We will be
equal citizens of he US, without batting an eyelash. In America, the
best way to help make immigrants equal citizens is through the political
process -- voting power under expert political guidance.

Below is for US citizens who have NOT registered
to vote, or have moved to a new address.
Otherwise,
this email doesn't concern you.

Here
is the EASIEST WAY to register to vote! Takes 10
minutes or less.

Click on https://ssl.capwiz.com/congressorg/nvra/
, you'll see a map. Click
on your state. That leads you to a form. Fill out the form. Click on the download button firmly, print, SIGN & DATE, and mail in your application
form. You can use you own envelope, if you find it more convenient.

Your state, upon receiving your application, will mail you a "voter
registration card." YOU NEED TO FILL THAT OUT AND MAIL IT IN. Only
then will you be registered. Note that registering to vote is ALWAYS A TWO-
STEP PROCESS, whether you register via a website or go to a registrationâ€¨
site in person.

When the "Voter Registration Card" comes, you may want to choose to
vote by absentee PERMANENTLY. That is you VOTE BY MAIL instead of going
to a polling place. It is again the easiest way!!! Forward this e-mail to
your friends.
